Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Windows of houses should be covered with finely meshed wire nets

C

One should sleep within mosquito nets.

D

Rooms should be sprayed with insecticides.

All mosquitoes must have water to complete their life cycle. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water found around homes, in tin cans, buckets, discarded tires, coolers and other artificial containers that hold stagnant water. So, stagnant water needs to be removed. Also, waterlogged areas should be filled with earth.
